Ten miles outside the city, after the Yunzhou officials and gentry who came to see him off had already left, Li You no longer concealed the strength of his army, and decisively issued an order, "Tanma release ten miles, the marching speed will be accelerated, and the normal marching speed during training will be advanced."

The army that was slowly moving forward immediately accelerated, from the long snake that staggered forward into a smart and vigorous dragon, and the chief and deputy captains of each team were located in the front and rear of the team, one was responsible for leading the team forward, and the other was responsible for ensuring that no one was left behind in his ranks; The new spies rushed out of the team and intensified their investigation, and the team moved forward for ten miles around their reconnaissance range, vigilantly watching the wind and grass in this area, lest they miss any clues.

The banner hunted in the wind, except for the sound of footsteps, there was nothing else in the procession, and there was nothing else in the procession, and none of the more than 3,000 soldiers spoke during the march, and this silent march made the farmers and pedestrians occasionally encountered on both sides of the road silent, although they were not familiar with military affairs, but they felt great pressure when they saw such an army, and they seemed to have realized that this was completely different from the defenders they had seen in Yunzhou City in the past.

In one day, the army marched more than forty miles, and if it weren't for the delay of some time for the Yunzhou gentry to see them off, they could have gone further; When they arrived at the predetermined campsite, the soldiers began their work according to the order, some stayed in the camp to dig trenches and build stoves, some went to the nearby woods to cut down trees, prepared to erect walls and build horses, and some occupied the nearby commanding heights and began to set up sentry posts...... The soldiers had adapted themselves to the work after the first few marches, and everything was going on in an orderly and orderly manner, and in a short time a heavily guarded makeshift camp had been erected, and puffs of cooking smoke rose from the camp, and the smell of food made countless people's stomachs begin to growl.

After the meal was prepared, the soldiers of each battalion lined up in front of the stove, the sticks of the military judges had taught them to obey order, and officers such as Li You and Xu Guang were also at the end of the line, and those soldiers had long been surprised, and did not cause a riot because of their appearance, and no one took advantage of this to give up their place to make a sycophant.

"Forty miles of marching in one day, such a regular camp was set up in less than an hour, and no one fought for it during the meal, Xu has not seen this scene in the army for many years, and the little lord's soldiers are well trained!" Xu Guang sighed, not at all angry that no one had brought food to his tent.

"Mr. Xu, it is forbidden to make noise when queuing, if you don't keep quiet, the military judge should come to you." Li You lowered his voice and said with a smile, with Xu Guang's experience, he couldn't find an army as strict as these soldiers, didn't that mean that the military discipline of his regiment had surpassed all the Great Wei troops.

"Oh, it was Xu who was negligent." Xu Guang's voice has also become quieter, he has been running back and forth these days, and he has spent less time in the army, but he has forgotten these rules.

After the meal, he came to the camp as usual, and this time he came with Li You, Xu Guang, Zhou Bofu and Sun Chuyang, who was in charge of logistics affairs, Yao Guangxiao, the Taiping County Lord and Sima Cuo all stayed in Yunzhou City, responsible for ensuring that Yunzhou City would not be in turmoil, and there were still some soldiers and horses in the Yunzhou camp, and if something happened Sima Coo, he could resist for a while.

"The morale and physical strength of the soldiers on the march today are very good, and according to the current situation, they may arrive at the predetermined place in less than three days." Li You did not want to completely defeat the Mixed Yuan Sect this time, but to let them retreat in the face of difficulties, so he chose the predetermined battlefield next to a village near the river, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the front of the Mixed Yuan Sect was blocked, they would not be able to get close to Yunzhou.

According to the intelligence in the early stage, the army of the Mixed Yuan Sect was still thirty miles away, and according to the speed of their march, it was almost impossible to reach here before the Yunzhou regimental training arrived.

This was just a regular meeting, and the enemy's strategy had already been deployed, and after talking about some food and grass supplies, and solving the new situations detected by the horses, they went back to rest after solving them one by one.

Two days later, the army arrived at the intended place, and the villagers had already fled, and according to the report of the scouts, these people had fled into the mountains to escape the military disaster, and they had taken away all the food, pigs and sheep in the village, leaving only empty houses and a few old people who could not walk.

Li You did not enter the village, but led a large army to camp outside the village, brought food to the old people, and sent a doctor in the army to diagnose their health. These actions greatly won their favor, and although they still refused to reveal the whereabouts of the villagers, they gradually changed their initial situation of not saying a word, and began to tell the soldiers of the Yunzhou regiment about the geographical situation nearby. The old farmer who has lived here for a long time is more familiar with the local area than the Tanma who has been watching the flowers, and Li You has also obtained a lot of useful information from it.

This time, because they had to prepare for a long confrontation, the construction of camps and fortifications was much stricter than in previous days, they needed to dig deeper trenches, erect stronger walls, and build higher watchtowers; Fortunately, the winter days in Yunzhou are much warmer than in Beijing, so it is not too difficult to complete these projects; In addition, the disciples sent by Gu Jiangzi to the army also had a lot of ideas for the reason, which greatly reduced the amount of work.

Maybe you can consider training a team of sappers specifically? Let these Mo disciples give full play to their strengths, and be responsible for digging trenches and repairing bridges, building camps, and temporarily building equipment? Li You kept this matter in mind for the time being, and planned to return to Jiazhou after the battle was over to discuss with Gu Jiangzi.

Song Zhiqing's army came later than Li You had expected, and it wasn't until the third day after they arrived here that they saw the front army of the Mixed Yuan Sect, and they rushed over in a mess without even sending out a probe horse; At the front of the team were the backbone of the sect dressed in red and green satin and wrapped in armor underneath, and behind them were thousands of homeless people who were not wrapped in clothes, and the Chinese army was Song Zhiqing's personal soldiers, with about five or six thousand people holding weapons in their hands.

"General, this is a good opportunity to attack, if you let someone lead someone to kill for a while, you will definitely be able to break the thief." Zhou Bofu held his oversized Mo knife and took the initiative to ask for battle.

"There's no hurry, we just need to hold this place." With Zhou Bofu's temper, this rush can't be stopped, if he is too brave to scare these people away, it will be bad for Li You.

Compared with the two armies, Li You's side has a strong camp and the morale of the soldiers is strong, but Song Zhiqin's side is a mess. (To be continued.) )
